Conrad Graber,

Respondent.

Pending before the Court are Petitioner Caulin Spinks’ Petition for Writ of Habeas
17
Corpus, (Doc. 1), Respondent Conrad Graber’s Response to Petition for Writ of Habeas
18
Corpus and Suggestion of Mootness, (Doc. 8), and United States Magistrate Judge John
19
Z. Boyle’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), (Doc. 9). The R&R recommends that
20
the Court deny and dismiss the Petition because it is moot. (Doc. 9 at 4.) The Magistrate
21
Judge advised the parties that they had fourteen days to file objections to the R&R and
22
that failure to file timely objections could be considered a waiver of the right to obtain
23
review of the R&R. (Id. (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); United States v. Reyna-Tapia, 328
24
F.3d 1114, 1121 (9th Cir. 2003)).
25
The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to
26
review the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149
27
(1985) (“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is
28
not the subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must
1
determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly
2
objected to.”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and finds that it is well-
3
taken. The Court will accept the R&R and deny the Petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)
4
(stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the
5
findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The
6
district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further
7
evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.”). Accordingly,
